THE GREENEST GREEN SALAD

Steps:

• Line a large plate with paper towels. Set aside. Bring a medium saucepan of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the snap peas, and cook until just tender, about 90 seconds. Use a strainer to remove the peas onto the prepared plate, and spread out in a single layer. Allow to cool and dry completely (the dressing won't stick to a wet snap pea). Cut each pea in half crosswise on the bias.
• In a large bowl, combine the snap peas, romaine, cucumbers and green onions. Mix well to combine. Add the avocado and about half the dressing. Mix gently with your hands until the salad is well coated with dressing, adding more if necessary. Taste, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve cold, immediately. Cover and refrigerate remaining dressing for up to 1 week.

GREEN SALAD

Steps:

• Wash greens well and tear them into bite-size pieces. Dry greens well on cloth towels, then wrap in several layers of paper towels and place package in fridge. This will keep for several hours, several days even if you wrap the paper wrapped leaves in a cloth towel and keep them in the crisper drawer of your fridge.

SOUTHERN COOKED GREENS

Steps:

• In a large pot, saute the bacon until slightly crisp. Add the onions and season with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Cook 6 to 7 minutes, until the onions are wilted and golden. Add the brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Add the shallots and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the water and vinegar and mix well. Begin adding the greens, a third at a time, pressing them down as they begin to wilt. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until the greens are soft, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Serve hot.

GREEN SALAD WITH DILL VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the garlic and rice vinegar, and set aside to mellow out.
• Meanwhile, trim the root end off the romaine heart and chop lettuce crosswise into bite-size pieces. Add the romaine, arugula and parsley to a large bowl or salad spinner. Fill with cold water, swish the greens, then lift the spinner basket (or lift the greens out and transfer to a colander in the sink) and drain the water. Repeat 2 to 3 more times, or until the water runs clear and no grit remains. Spin-dry the greens or dry them very well by laying them out on a large kitchen towel, folding the towel in half and gently patting down to remove moisture. Rinse and dry the large bowl, and return the greens to the bowl, cover with the damp kitchen towel and refrigerate until cold, at least 30 minutes. (Greens washed, dried and covered this way can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.)
• When you're ready to serve, finish the vinaigrette: To the garlic and vinegar, add the olive oil, dill, fish sauce, sugar and 1 tablespoon cold water, and season generously with salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
• Add a couple of tablespoons of the vinaigrette to the salad greens, and toss, adding more as needed to evenly coat. The salad should be lightly dressed, not drowned. Taste for seasoning, adjusting with more salt and pepper as desired.

COOKED GREEN SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the turkey bacon in a saute pan until crispy. Take it off heat and cut it into turkey bacon bits.
• In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and turkey bacon. Add the grease from cooking the turkey bacon in the bowl as well.
• Steam brussel sprouts, spinach, green beans, swiss chard, and broccolli for 10 minutes. Strain it and dump it into the bowl.
• Toss it all together and serve.

GREEN SALAD WITH HARD-COOKED EGGS

Steps:

• Cut romaine lettuce into bite-size pieces; place in a large bowl. Add grape tomatoes, celery, and cubed dill-flavored Havarti cheese.
• In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard and fresh lemon juice; whisk in olive oil in a steady stream until emulsified. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper.
• Pour dressing over salad, and toss to combine. Serve topped with hard-cooked eggs. (See cook's note.)
